The Shape.


Excuse the mess; the maid doesn't come in until June.
This is the basic profile I'm running with on the FXS. No artsy exploration in alloys, just solid components in a time-tested arrangement.
The only real party piece will be the swingarm-mounted fender & sissy bar...I've wanted to do that for a while.
There's a round chrome oil tank on the way plus some 3" glide risers; I just need to get a seat then all the major componennts will be there. Oh, and the cylinders, I'll need those too.

a minute of care....

is worth an hour of repair. and them's 1920's prices.

Morning carbs 'n coffee.



Mikuni wasn't treating me well on the FX, so I put a Super B together from bits and pieces I had...starts and runs a champ now.

Here we go again.


This year's victim, '79 FXS Low Rider.
Karen's R1100 Police certainly is a capable bike, but she wanted something fun too...and the words "German" and "police" aren't usually synonymous with "fun". Enter the FXS.

I'm thinking 80's club bike styling, mids, Frisco sporty tank, and tall risers for some no-nonsense musclebike flava.

There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty.'

Then there's this.


Not even sure if they made this...different flavor, same idea. CB1100R rerelease.

Probably not the best idea

but I keep finding myself looking at them
ZXR1100

Strutted XS

Lots of cool bits on this XS, took me a few minutes to even notice the struts.

My new ride.


While I'm working on getting my CDL, anyway.

425 hp Caterpillar, 10 speed, and a whole lotta torque.

Sick mall ride

Who would've known that this shopping mall 4 wheeler would be powered by a cone shovel.

Flexin'

Made a batt box mount last night and it was flexing too much. I-beam restyling should take care of it.

Theft deterrent

Posted prominently above the doorknob of the new garage.

A lofty goal...

Poached from the HAMB, this car is spot on.
